Pagans on Campus: A Cursory Exploration
New Directions for Higher Education, n206 p65-74 2024
Paganism, despite growing as a religious affiliation over recent decades, has rarely been the subject of study within higher education. Due to the general lack of cohesive organizations, a persistent social stigma, and a number of ill-defined identity labels, they have proven difficult to study even within the general population. This chapter will provide a descriptive snapshot of the population of Pagan college students in the United States and offer guidance for higher education practitioners working with this often-invisible religious demographic group on their campuses.
